Chapter 102 It's simply appalling
At dusk, Zhao Wenzhen came to the courtyard.
He asked the maid to take the children to the yard to play, and he took Qi Huaijing aside and told him in detail about the scandal that had happened in Feixia Pavilion today.
"You two left early and missed the show! There were people crying and cursing on the spot. Fortunately, the old man was able to keep his composure! He arrested everyone on the spot and handed them over to Madam Du for strict supervision. Then he turned around and went back to his seat, drinking and watching the show, without changing his expression! When everyone toasted, he laughed heartily every time... After all the guests had left, he turned cold and ordered the doors to be closed, and personally questioned everyone present..."
When Qi Huaijing heard this, he raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"It's outrageous that such a thing could happen in broad daylight!"
"Of course not! Xinyu has been busy until now. She is accompanying the old man and the old lady on behalf of Mrs. Cheng to discuss this matter with Duan's parents! Alas... this marriage is 80% likely to fail! No, 99%! 100%!"
Qi Huaijing nodded in agreement.
"Isn't there another person named Huang? Now that things have come to this, this kid has to take advantage."
"Tsk tsk, this guy has already been engaged, and it's also a girl from the Yue family! That girl and Sister Shu have always been close, what do you think caused this..."
After seeing the guests off, Chen Tang, who had been writing quietly, stopped writing.
Just then, the maid brought a bowl of pigeon soup. She sat on the couch, stirred the bowl, and spoke leisurely.
"Huai Jing, is that you?"
Qi Huaijing blurted out, "No!"
Seeing that he did it without hesitation, Chen Tang became more certain.
"Oh, I thought you asked the maid to cook pigeon soup...isn't it?"
“…Oh, it’s me.”
Shen Tang threw down the silver spoon.
"If it really is you. I was saying, if this was the first time you heard about this, with your personality, you would probably shout that God has eyes, how happy it is, how could you say..."
“It’s appalling!”
Since she had guessed it, Qi Huaijing simply admitted it and continued to argue.
"It was indeed me, but it wasn't me. I didn't do anything!... I just put the drug she wanted to give you in her tea, and sent her to Feixia Pavilion... She even arranged for someone to invite that bastard Huang Youshan!"
He briefly explained the whole story. When Chen Tang heard that he was involved, he felt terrified and nauseous.
"So she wanted to...kill two birds with one stone and ruin Yue Liuer's marriage? Pah, they keep calling each other elder sister...so disgusting."
"Tsk tsk, I've said it before, she's a poisonous snake, if she's unhappy, she wants to bite anyone she meets."
He thought about what had happened in recent days and felt sick.
"This venomous snake is really petty and cowardly! It was obviously me who didn't want to marry her, and it was me who mocked her. She was unhappy, so why didn't she dare to attack me? She always uses those vicious little tricks to deal with female relatives... I mentioned it to the old man, but he just laughed it off, saying that it was a child's mentality and he would grow up... But such a bad habit will never be cured in a lifetime!"
This scandal lasted for quite some time.
Qi Huaijing didn't go to the old man to collect the receipts. After all, the Yue family was in chaos and no one cared about him.
Mrs. Du was angry and bedridden, a bunch of old aunts and grandmothers were useless, Cheng Xinyu and his wife were not blood relatives, and they had to take care of two children, Xixi and Dongdong...
The housekeeper of the Yue Mansion was so anxious that he was smoking. He plucked up the courage to ask Old Man Yue for advice.
He sat in front of his deceased wife's spirit, his face as cold as iron.
"Go find my cousin and let him handle it!"
When Qi Huaijing heard this, he was stunned for a moment... and then he took the job.
"OK."
Just do it. He won’t accept the Yue family’s banknotes in vain.
The first thing is Yue Lingshu’s marriage.
Since the Duan family caught the man in the act, they naturally wanted to cancel the engagement. However, considering the long-term friendship between the two families, they only said to the outside world that they were incompatible, and from then on they parted ways and got married separately.
As for the kid surnamed Huang... Yue Lingshu cried and made a fuss after he woke up, saying that he was forced and then seduced, but he refused to report to the police... Because he didn't dare to tell others about the drugging, in the end he could only say that it was just a moment of confusion and both parties were willing.
Huang Youshan was already engaged to Yue Liuer. Although there were some differences between the two, there were reasons for it, so he had to change his marriage to Yue Lingshu.
However, Yue Liu'er was trying to commit suicide at home because they had been having an affair for a long time, and she refused to agree to cancel the engagement. Qi Huaijing then promised her a very generous dowry...
She nodded and was willing to marry into the Huang family and become a concubine.
Later, the two sisters entered the family on the same day, and naturally became enemies, but they knew each other well and had been fighting wits and courage for their entire lives... The Huang family had no peace for a single day, but that is a story for later, so let’s not talk about it for now.
In addition, Qi Huaijing sent away a group of servants on the grounds that there were too many complicated personnel matters at home.
Especially all the maids around Yue Lingshu, no one should be left behind and they all had to leave the house.
Although she said she was chasing people away, the maids around her had been bullied for a long time and were all happy about it.
Cui Xi, in particular, was so happy that she cried when she came out of Yue Lingshu's yard carrying a bag on her back, as if she was reborn.
After all, Bai Lu gave her a considerable sum of money, enough for her to have enough food to eat for more than ten years.
After the maids left, Qi Huaijing picked two strong old women to clean up the dishes and bowls that Yue Lingshu had smashed after she was confined... and they stayed with her day and night until she got married.
Not only the maids, Qi Huaijing also took the opportunity to drive away a group of distant relatives who were in charge of various jobs in the mansion.
He has always disliked these flies that lie on the fat meat and suck the oil, and he would like to get rid of them.
Anyway, he had a bad reputation and didn't value family ties and morals as much as my grandfather did. He took this opportunity to clean up the family and send them all away on behalf of the old man.
After this cleanup, the Yue family felt much quieter.
Everything is done, but after all, the marriage has turned into an ugly incident. Even if it can be covered up, Yue Lingyun and his wife and Mrs. Cheng must be informed.
As for cousin Ling Yun, no matter how thick-skinned Qi Huaijing was, he was too embarrassed to go to the northwest again.
Fortunately, he was always good at imitating the old man's handwriting, so he wrote a letter home, using a vague style to let them know that it had happened.
As for Mrs. Cheng, Qi Huaijing and his wife, and Zhao Wenzheng's family of four went to Baoyun Mountain in the suburbs of Beijing together, both to report family affairs and to bid farewell to their elders.
It was the end of April, and the small villa on the hillside, with its green bricks and white tiles, reflected the green mountains and dark forest shadows.
Mrs. Cheng was lying in bed sick. She was happy to see everyone coming for half a day. Then Qi Huaijing whispered to her about the ugly things that happened in the family.
After hearing the whole story, Mrs. Cheng was silent for a moment, and asked everyone else to leave, leaving only him behind.
Then she stretched out her frail, pale hand and touched his young, energetic cheek.
"Jing'er, you look a lot like... ahem, a lot like your uncle."
Qi Huaijing nodded.
"Yes, that's what everyone keeps saying."
"But your uncle is soft-hearted. If it were him... ahem... he probably wouldn't do such a ruthless thing."
Qi Huaijing was shocked.
"Aunt!"
